This has nothing to do with the drains, I am told by the police that as last time this has been caused by Thames Water not opening the sluice gate in time. It is outrageous that residents of Mandeville Court & Lower Hall Lane have been made to suffer yet again due to their gross incompetance. I will be taking this up with the Council first thing Monday morning.

You should close the lock gates an flower the juice gates once the narrowboat has gone through the lock. Conserve water a must. As for THames Water they are a law unto themselves, make any old excuse to divert blame. The alter the water tables without telling anyone and you end up knee deep in water, we live on an island and I am honestly now thinking of getting a second hand dingy or canoe off of ebay just in case as there seems to be more on way.

Do you not get on with neighbours who live above? They would not have got many in that boat. Sounds like it was a good excuse to blow the boat up and have a row. Were the buildings affected pray?

No you have not but my personal feeling is that the fire fighters thought it was a great idea to blow up the boat and embroider their CV entitled

'Adrift on an ice floe'
